Injury Quotations
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.
Thomas Jefferson
One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.
Socrates
If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.
Khalil Gibran
If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense.
Ron Paul
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
Marcus Aurelius
Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.
Marcus Aurelius
No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.
Booker T. Washington
There are some cases in which the sense of injury breeds not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but a hatred of all injury.
George Eliot
